Matthew Scott Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Matthew was a 1990 graduate of Kennard-Dale High School and a 1994 graduate of Penn State. While at Penn State, he obtained his Bachelor's degree and then attended Loyola University to obtain his Master's degree. He was an inspiration to all who knew him. Matthew was a fantastic teacher and coach at North Penn High School in Landsdale, PA. He was a role model to the students he coached on the basketball court and those he taught in the classroom. Faith was an important part of who Matthew was; he loved and believed in the Lord.
When not coaching or in the classroom, Matthew could be found spending time with his children. He especially enjoyed fishing with them, whether in a pond, ocean, or the bay. Matthew loved and was active in many sports, if they did not have a fishing trip scheduled; they were usually being coached by Dad.
In addition to his mother, Matthew is survived by his two children, Collin and Cameron Scott. Left to cherish his memories is a host of family and friends, especially his colleagues at North Penn High School.
Matthew was predeceased by his father, William Joseph Scott.

I am so sorry for the loss of Matt. I was substituting for him this year, and a couple of weeks last year at North Penn. He was a very kind and generous person, always putting the needs of others before himself. He made a lasting impression not only on his colleagues, but every student he came into contact with throughout his life. May God surround all of you with his everlasting love during this very difficult time.
